Background.
Respiratory motions and free breathing during radiation therapy treatment of sites in the proximity of lungs, influence significantly on treatment of tumor volumes (in terms of sizes of PTV margins and also in possible under dosage of tumor volumes). It also influences the dose received by normal tissues surrounding the tumor volumes. This is particularly important in patients...

Introduction. Breast cancer irradiation improves local control and survival. Currently, there is a tendency towards an increase of full node irradiation (FNI), including the fossa supraclavicular nodes, with or without axillary nodes and the internal mammary nodes (IMN), even for early stage, high-risk patients. However, besides the low morbidity of this approach, most of the patients may...

Purpose/Objective
The use of image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) in cervical cancer has allowed safer and more conformal delivery of higher tumor doses leading to better local control. The use of simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to pelvic adenopathies is increasingly being used to improve regional control. Significant nodal doses during brachytherapy have been previously...

The Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia is a Japan-led cooperation framework for peaceful and safe use of nuclear science and technology in Asia. Eleven Asian countries have been participating in the project. The purposes of the project are to establish safe and effective treatments for predominant cancers in Asia and to improve the treatment outcomes. Since 1995, four international clinical...

**Purpose/Objective.**
The advent of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and image-guided adapted brachytherapy (IGABT) has allowed for safe delivery of higher doses in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer, translating to better local control. Moreover, nodal boosts are increasingly being used in order to improve regional control. However, while dose-volume relationships...
